>>>I like the idea of an add-on that fits INSIDE the CD32 instead of

-- When I designed the SX-1, I thought pretty hard about putting the electronics
*inside* the CD32.  The thing that stopped me was the sheer number of connectors &
where to put the hard drive.  Upon reflection, I *could* have put the entire package
*under* the CD32....  probably should... but it would have been much more
expensive...

-- Just one version... That's right.

The operating speed of the CD32 is nearly identical to a stock A1200. 
When you add Autoconfiguring memory to *both* machines, they equally
speed up....

-- an excellent thing....
